Baker Mayfield may be the New York Jets top interest at quarterback after all.Does anyone really know for sure what the New York Jets are going to do with the number three pick? Other than it being a quarterback, nobody really knows for sure. For the most part, the offices at Florham Park have been closed to leaks. So as we roll closer to the NFL draft, we cling to reports and rumors to get us through the days and weeks.

We have one of those reports here now. According to Draft Analyst Tony Pauline, the Jets have someone on their mind:

There are a good number of league insiders who believe the New York Jets will use the third pick of the draft to select quarterback Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma. This assumes that Sam Darnold is already gone when the Jets are called to the clock.

If this is the case, it will probably split the fan base about 50/50 in terms of approval. Many would love to see Mayfield lead this team while others would prefer Josh Rosen if still on the table.

This would be a much better choice than Josh Allen. This is something that the fan base can agree on wholeheartedly. Allen may have a lot of physical attributes but his accuracy is very poor as we have talked about extensively. The Jets don’t need a project, they need a franchise quarterback.Mayfield is an accurate quarterback, so that box is checked off. Pauline went on to state his belief that Mayfield would be a mistake if the two guys named Josh are available. He is smaller than the prototypical quarterback, but then again, so is Drew Brees. Some believe his personality will work in New York and some don’t. We all remember the grabbing of the privates incident.

Truthfully, we won’t know for sure until the commissioner steps up to the microphone. The leaks have been stopped up pretty well by this regime. Mayfield certainly wouldn’t be a bad choice, even if he isn’t the preferred one for all.

If Rosen is on the board, I'd like him. If not, then Mayfield. These are my top 2 choices. Don't want Darnold nor Allen. Rosen and Mayfield are the 2 guys who can start pretty much right away and bring some much needed excitement back to this dead lifeless decaying corpse of a franchise.

I think this is a smokescreen Rosen is clearly the highest ranked QB on the board only thing is his injury history. If this happens it would be a flashback to 83 draft anyone remember Dan Marino? Allen I could understand he is a guy that requires time to develop but Rosen could start day 1 and skill wise is miles ahead of Mayfield.

This will be a polarizing draft for the Jets. If the #1 target for the Jets is Mayfield I'd be pretty surprised. In my opinion I think the Jets have their top 3 QBs ranked as 1A, 1B and 1C and the fans may never know who the first preference is/was. You know the Jets are going to say they got their guy whoever they take. I'm of the opinion that all, with the possible exception of Allen will be in the league for a long time. Bottom line, for the first time in recent history going back to Brent Favre, Vinny Testaverde and Chad Pennington the Jets will get a franchise QB.

Agreed. But remember, the Jets GM is an imbecile. His big plan was to suck for 3 years so he had enough cap space to sign a crappy Kirk cousins. That was the big plan. Thank God Kirk decided to go elsewhere. Macc’s Big plan sucked. Now we just hope the right QB falls to us. We need an idiot proof plan with an idiot as GM. Sad state of affairs.

This guy(article writer, not Raoul), Kiper, Barstool Sports, Kelly, they all have some crap out there geared to rile us up. Only clown boy Mac knows who he wants, and until the clock starts on Thursday of the draft, will we know how it plays out. As long as its not Allen, Im ok.
